Owe this to Pawan first and obviously to Blogadda, that the showcasing of my sketches became a Tangy Tuesday Pick! If not with the pen, I might as well use the pencil!! The review over at Blogadda can be found here.

This is not much of a news, but I cannot write anything. And this affects me very much! Writing is a passion that either burns the paper, scorch marks all over or else, burns me….

To put it simply, I write to stay sane. So I’m inviting anyone who happens to read this post, please if you are leaving a comment, leave a topic, not too difficult (you wouldn’t torture the poor me, would you?)Hopefully, I should get enough topics to last me at least a few weeks. So please help!!

Now there is one more passion I have something I could have been good at, if I had something like I have weblog for my writing. And I am not being modest! As those who know well the Blogger-me, they know that I may be the Sarcasm Queen or even the Butter Queen, but no one has ever called me Modesty anything! (about the first two epithets, those who don’t know, trust me you don’t want to know either)

So to continue what I was saying, there is one thing I do, on and off, sadly like my writing of the pre-Maverick Misfit-period (sounds like Stone Age), it greatly depends on my mood! And my mood strikes about once in six months (in a manner of speaking) and lasts at least the whole day when I may forget even to eat (I usually try not to forgo other, ahem, sensitive chores). So you may already know the writer, and heard about me as the almost-scientist, now, may I introduce you to the crazy artist.

Sketching and Painting are my other passion. Probably the first thing I knew I can do. Sometimes I feel more alive creating than doing anything else in this world! How I wish I would be more diligent at it.

So here are a few sketches I have done. I completely owe this idea of showcasing my drawings on my blog to Avada Kedavra, an amazing artist herself.

Here goes!

These are three portraits I sketched. Rather than scanning them I used a camera to take the pictures, the white of the paper is a bit off. But I think you get the essence. All the three took only a few hours each, though I spent a lot of time doing the first one’s curls. The last one, that of a cobbler toiling, is my favourite. Maybe some other time I will also post a few of my paintings; the mediums are usually pastel or water or oil.

Do tell me how you like these.

And I will be waiting for those topics-to-write-on suggestions.

P.S. I am calling myself Maverick for a change ’cause a few people actually think of me as such rather than the usual Misfit. Though, honestly, I love both 😉 G.:)

Bloody hell woman! Those are awesome drawings! (Sorry for the language…) I always envy people that can paint/draw well…it's a talent I do not possess. They are just amazing. Waiting for more. I must say the cobbler is my fav too. You've caught his emotions through that drawing. I can almost see the story of his life through it…if that makes any sense.

WOW girl.. beautiful!!!!!! love it love it love it 🙂 🙂 You are too good at sketching 🙂 My favourite is the cobbler too, out of the three. But I looove the way you have made the curls on the first one.. Put some paintings too.. make it the next post.. that is my topic suggestion for next post 🙂 plzzzz sreya 😀

Thanks so much!! 🙂Actually I have no idea if she is Drew Barrymore!I usually don't do movie celebrities.. this was just another sketch! 😛The old cobbler was done from aphotograph, the composition of which, I felt, was awesome! 🙂

Hi Roshmi

Thanks girl! To be honest, I was more of a closet-writer! (And I still am, given most people around me don't know of my blog :P) But I have never have been a closet artist in real life 😀 😀

Heyy Paritosh

That girl with curls is no one! 😀And talent is truly talent only when you cultivate it! Sadly I do it so irregularly nowadays! 😛Thanks! 🙂

Hi Harsha

Haa! The multi-talented header was sarcastically done!! 😛Thanks so much! I have to unearth my paintings actually, though a few recent ones may be at hand… also I give away many! 😛 🙂

Hiya HaRy

Commented! I'm so sorry for being such a lazy bum! 😛 😀Half the time I don't know what I miss! 😛And thanks… 🙂

Hi Psych Babbler

Yeah, the cobbler is after all not an imaginary picture but a real one!well, sketching/painting is something as I said I have been able to do! It's one thing I am good at, at times…of course, there are people way better than me… but still… 😛 🙂Thank you so much! 🙂

Thank you so much!! The third one was a challenge as that picture needed to show the past, present and future! You are absolutely right! And as for calling myself a Maverick, till before recently, people would insist on calling me a Misfit! 😀

Hi Miss_Nobody

I kinda guessed before that you are a Bengali blogger too 🙂The 'Multi-talented' header- I was trying to be sarcastic! 😛Thanks so much!And for the topic… it is something I have talked about, but never thought of writing! Great idea! Thanks! 🙂But mine won't be as good as yours! 😛 (disclaimer, so as not to dash ur hopes :D)

Heyy Avada Kedavra

Girl, I am so happy that you saw these! I will try to post a few of my paintings! I am doubly happy that you liked them! Thanks a tonne!!! :))

Hiya Pramoda

firstly, love those topics!! Am going to crash on them, soon! Hopefully, I will d justice to them! 🙂That you enjoyed the pictures so thoroughly, I can ask for nothing else! 🙂thank you so much!! :))

Hey Pawan

Thanks once again buddy! Doubly, for the secret you told me!! 😀Yeah, the second one was supposed to be enigmatic, glad you saw that! Thanks again! 🙂

The misfit girl became buttering queen, then she became sarcastic-buttering queen! Now she is an artist too! U are truly a multi-talented, multi-faceted personality!!Truly awesome.. Even I like sketching! But seriously can't match with yours! Amazing writer, good artist, talented sarcastic-buttering misfit girl!What not!U are amazing! Teach me some more adjectives please… Am stuck for words!!

P.S:DISCLAIMER: THIS COMMENT CONTAINS THE TRUTH AND THE INTENTION IS NOT TO BUTTER THE MISFIT GIRL!

You do know all the replies 😀So let me not repeat them, except for a word of thanks 😛Yup, I know a topic is already suggested, that is the prime one in my list, and no mentioning names, you and I both might be included there otherwise!! 😀As to your comment to Shruti: Ahem! Ahem! 😀 😀You are cruel!!! 😀 😀

Hi Raji

Thanks so much! But the 'multi-talented' thing was a pun! 😛And so for the ideas, steal away, there will be a lot of fun in writing them together!! 😀 😀

Hi Harini

Perfect?! Well, that's saying a lot!! Thanks so much! I, too, like the third most among the three, because it does succeed in expressing the history, the toil- his life. 🙂

Hello BK Chowla- ji

Thank you so much, Sir! 🙂I sure will try showcase some more of my art, some time in the future.

Hey Insignia

Thanks so much! Pensive is the exact word! I am glad you liked them! :))

Hiya Shruti

You got some chronological mix-up in your summary of my qualifications but more or less, this sums it all up!! 😉 😀And that disclaimer won't work!! It's a dud! So, “Shruti, stop buttering!!” 😀 😀Thanks so much, dear Lamb-y!!And as to your reply to Neha: It seems you want to be the Next Butter Queen!!! 😀

Hey Bharathi

Good to have you here as always! Procrastination is something that I understand very well! After all, of all the sayings I only remember “Hard work pays later, laziness pays now”… 😀 😀 If you can make people into cartoons, you have an innate ability, don't leave it! 😀 😀I am glad you like the post too, actually obviously people won't notice me being bitingly sarcastic when they are distracted by the sketches! 😛I can write on the topic 'Mask”, but before that I want to see what's your article on it, that is, which sense of the word you are using!! And then I'll write on the same! 😛 🙂And finally, thanks a lot!P.S. Is it a coincidence, or I always write such long comments to you! 😀

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! Simply amazing sketches!! I loved the 'curl' effect in the first pic..all of them are superb..love the way you've paid attention to minute details! As for the topic, I'm totally blank 😛 it's a 'Writer's Block' phase that I'm in currently!! Perhaps that explains why I couldn't come up with anything 😦
